I wonder what is up with the need for a slight descent into the upper terminal. I think it’s got to do with that last tower being integrated into the drive. Incidentally, it was a regular support tower in the old alignment:
Agreed. Definitely nothing to do with whether or not the sheave assembly is part of the terminal- one can engineer whatever configuration one needs in this case.
